Nina by Nina Ricci Eau de Toilette

The Eau de Toilette is described as follows. "A Perfume deliciously inspired by the red toffee apple, with tender flesh and a crisp outside to tempt and charm."

It is located in a square package, whose main color is a slightly sandy white. On the front of a red apple with embossed, silver leaf is shown. Inside the apple found in artfully curved writing the name of the brand Nina Ricci. At the back you will find both the ingredients, as well as manufacturers address and specifying the content. Overall, the package is stable, simple but it looks classy, ​​and very appealing. I know this scent for a few years and I must say, first of all the exceptional bottle I noticed. this is dark pink or pink and has the natural shape of an apple. So it is then that the shape is not square, but much more about. It is realistic, but symmetrically designed. The neck is silver and a kind style. Here hang three leaves, also turn into silver. On one of the leaves you will find again the eingepraegten name of Nina Ricci. The closure is here petite and round and adapts to the rest of the form. On the whole, the shape is cute, feminine, classy and seems somehow romantic. The smell I find here is still amazing! If I sniff the bottle comes to mind first for something sweet but also slightly lemony. The scent already here thus has two facets. And even when sprayed on the skin first incident on the Lemony. You can totally smell out the lime. Over time, this scent from something acidic but to sweeten stalk along. In the description is spoken by caramelized peony and moonflower and even if I do not know how these flowers smell exactly, I think DSS all true. At least with the sweet I can completely agree with. That does not mean that the slightly tart completely disappears, a nuance of it remains that is also. Towards the end, the scent of musk and wood should smell and iorgendwie I also find the true. I also find that the fragrance unfolds on the Hautr on ehnde to the sensuous and graceful. Even the mentioned vanilla scent can guess rather than dertone all the time. I find that the description of the product by Nina Ricci is very true! The scent actually starts lemony, then sweet and is towards the end somehow sensual and totally feminine! The fragrance lasts totally long on the skin, so you do not have to then spray.

Highly Recommend

This has to be one of my favourite perfumes that I have ever owned. The smell is sweet and fresh, but also elegant. It is not too obvious, but is more of a refined smell which I think it perfect, as it can really add that little bit of zest when going out. It's in a lovely bottle, the design of which means it looks nice when placed on your shelf or vanity table. It's definitely worth the price, with many other perfumes - more expensive than this one, I have not been as satisfied with the smell of the product. It is so nice, and after having bought and tried out so many other perfumes, none have been able to compare to this one.

The only thing I would say is that the bottle is too small and it runs out too fast! I have been able to use this perfume time and time again, and never once have I gotten bored of the smell or gotten bored of wearing it. If I were to recommend a product to a friend, any product at all, this may well be it. It really is something I love the smell of, looks good, and is really good value for money. It is clearly a high quality perfume, that has been produced using the best ingredients, and it's so easy to tell that from the smell.

If you are looking for your next perfume, I would certainly insist that you try this out, take a whiff and I know you will be satisfied.

I definitely recommend this perfume for women of all age

Nina Ricci has glorious perfumes and this one is one of the best. This perfumes was the first perfume by nina ricci I've ever tried and since that's been my favorite brand of perfume. This perfume is the perfect Christmas / Birthday gift for a teen or a grown women ( if she doesn't like strong smells) because it has a magnificent smell and it's also something that they'll fall in love with because of its sweetness.The sweet gourmand heart is juicy and caramelly due to candied apple, praline note and vanilla whose opulent veil wraps the softly sweet peony and the Moonflower. Finally the apple tree, white cedar and balmy musk notes are touching your skin with their warm and soft sensuality.
The fragrance was created by Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier in 2006. The new Nina fragrance has replaced the old one with the same name, created in 1987.

Lovely feminine floral perfume.

I absolutely adore Nina Ricci perfumes and my favourite is Nina. I was originally bought this as a gift a few years ago and have continued to buy it since. The bottle is a small red glass apple with a silver top. You take the silver ball off the top (which is the lid) to spray the perfume. The size of the bottle is not too bulky or over complicated so great for taking in your bag going on nights out. The smell of the perfume itself is a sweet floral fruity scent and is almost certainly a perfume that you'll wear and be asked what it is. It costs around £40 which is a bit steep for perfume but it's a one off treat for me as I don't use tons when spraying anyway so it lasts me a while. In sum a great feminine sweet smelling perfume ideal for any girl who loves enchanting fragrances.

a great perfume

A few years ago, I seen this perfume being constantly advertised on TV, it looked like a really girly and nice perfume and the bottle looked lovely so I decided to pick it up as a wee treat to myself at last Christmas. I have just finished the bottle and I was really happy with it, I think I may even rebuy it when I have used up some of the perfumes I am using at the moment.

The BottleThe bottle for this perfume is really girly and looks really well on my shelf. It is a lovely pink bottle that is shaped as an apple and has a silver top that looks like leaves and the lid sits on the top and is a nice finishing touch to the apple. I think that the bottle looks really professional and would make this perfume a lovely gift if you were looking to buy someone a nice perfume.

What I ThoughtSmells amazing, it has a really unique smell and has a mix of floral and zingy fruity scents to it. I haven't bought a perfume recently that I could compare this one to and I really like it so it was a great buy for me.This perfume is suitable for both every day use and smells great on a special occasion, it is really versatile and easy to wear. I love like that this spray has really good staying power, I find that when I wear this perfume I do not need to reapply it throughout the day, this is great as it means I am not wearing overly loads of it at a time.This perfume doesn't smell overly strong when it is applied, this is great for me as sometimes really overpowering smells can give me migraines, but this perfume doesn't give this these problems so I can use it all the time.

Price and AvailabilityYou can buy a 50ml bottle of this perfume for around £25-35 depending on where you buy it. I bought mine in Debenhams for around £30 from memory, which I think was a really good deal for a perfume of this quality.

OverallI really liked this perfume and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a fresh perfume with fruity and floral tones to it. It has a lovely bottle, smells great and has really good staying power. Overall I would give this perfume 5 out of 5 stars.

Nina by Nina Ricci

The first thing that attracted me to the Nina Ricci range was her beautiful and unique looking perfume bottles. The Nina scent and bottle is one of my absolute favourites and I love how the theme and look of the bottle which is shaped like an apple carries over into the scent of this eau de toilette as well. It's as if you know what the scent is going to smell like before you even spray on the fragrance and then when you do you are meet with this lovely crisp fruity fragrant smell which is absolutely delicious.

The fragrance is described as a "modern, young" fragrance for women which has a fresh, floral scent, blending together notes of calabrese lemon and lime, caipirinha, red toffee apple, vanilla infusion, moonflower, peony petals, apple tree wood, cotton musk and white cedar.

The bottle is beautiful. Like I've said above its in the shape of an apple but has a lovely light pink colour to it and the top is a masterpiece in itself with silver leaf and stopper, very eye catching and enough to make you want to purchase the fragrance just for this.

According to an article I read, "Maria Nielli was born in Italy in 1883, but moved to France aged 12. She began an apprenticeship at a dressmaker's shop when she was 13, and regularly pursued her love of fashion throughout her teenage years. Maria married Italian jeweller Luigi Ricci, then joined Raffin as a designer, where she stayed for 20 years before launching her own fashion house with her son Robert in 1932. The fashion house was christened Nina Ricci, using her married name and a nickname she had as a child. The House of Nina Ricci expanded rapidly throughout the 20th century, and today the Nina Ricci fashion brand also produces a range of fragrances and toiletries."

An 80ml bottle costs in the £40 region and is definitely a scent I recommend.

A gorgeous bottle holding a nice fragrance.

~*~ Nina- Nina Ricci ~*~

~*~*~ What is it? ~*~*~

A beautiful perfume. What first attracted me to this was again the bottle! I saw the advert on telly and I wanted it immeditely. Nina Ricci was a fashion designer. My first experience with Nina Ricci was a few years back when I bought a gorgeous eyeshadow compact, and after that nothing ... Until I saw this perfume advertised. My initial reaction to what this scent would entail was that of apples, anyway, it was the bottle that sold it to me!

~*~*~ The Bottle ~*~*~

Oh my favourite part of perfumes! The bottle. I love glamourous looking bottles, I think they look amazing all set out on my dressing table so when I first saw this advertised I really wanted it, really, really wanted it. So when I got it I was overjoyed.The bottle is shaped like an apple, not like the DKNY apple bottles, but like a really apple with leaves!It is a pink glass apple, with chrome coloured leaves and stalk or lid if you like!It is a very pretty bottle, that I very much love.

~*~*~ The Price ~*~*~

This is not one of the cheapest scents available nor is it one the more expensive. It can be found at various places online but I have taken my prices from the Superdrug website, it is also available instore (where mine was purchased) and also in Boots.

The scent at first spritz was way too over whelming for me, which I was devestated about, I so wanted to love this fragrance, so I perserved with it. It wasn't a headache inducing scent but it was really strong all the same. Seeing the notes I can't really say that I detect lemon nor lime, what I do detect is the sweet smell of toffee apples and maple syrup! It's a strong in your face type scent that you hope fades in the dry down. I am pleased to say that it does fade in the dry down. It looses it's initial strength but stays sweet, even hours after applying it I can still smell the toffee apple scent. I think it is the perfect Autumn/Winter scent.The freshness of the apple does take away the initial heady sweetness and makes this a delightful warm scent. Whilst I find I cannot detect the lemon and lime notes I think it is these that stop it being too sweet, I think the bitterness of this brings the scent to a much more normal level that I like.

~*~*~ Overall ~*~*~

Despite initially thinking this was too sweet I soon came to like it, I loved the bottle from the start so my opinion on that has never changed. This isn't my everyday scent, I think it's better saved for special occasions. I do like it, but I still find it too sweet for everyday use. I find a few light sprays on my pulse points is more than enough to last me the entire day. I don't ever feel the need to top it up and until the end it keeps the sweetness of the initial first spray.If you don't like sweet scents then this is not one for you.

Thanks for reading :o) x

My favourite perfume, great for anyone looking for something a bit different

Nina by Nina Ricci is a gorgeous scent that you can wear day or night, as it's not too strong and overpowering. It comes in a small white box with a picture of a pinky apple on the front. This immediately makes me think of fairytales, and snow white and handsome princes. Then as you lift the lid and the piece of protective card inside, you will find the small pink apply shaped bottle. The bottle is made really nicely, and looks beautiful of my dressing table. The top and stopper of the bottle has additional metal leaves just to continue the fantasy further. Under the lid there is the normal squirter.

Not only does the bottle remind me of fairytales, but the smell too is very sweet and quite different to many perfumes, which in my opinion smell pretty similar and remind me of old ladies. This is a young, upbeat, really pretty smelling perfume.

beautiful floral fragrance - summery smell that lasts a long time

When thinking about what perfume I would like to put on my Christmas 2010 wish list, my sister suggested Nine, Nina Ricci. I had previously stuck with during the past few years Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, but now wanted a perfume that was a little different, something that would not be too strong or too sweet smelling. I trusted my sisters guidance and received the perfume from Santa on Christmas day.

The perfume was the product that I had been looking for ; a fresh floral, light smell that was not overpowering. The packaging is really eye-catching with the bright red apple with silver leaves- something you would not normally expect on a perfume bottle but this is what I like about it. Only a few sprays each time you wear it is necessary as the fragrance lasts all day. This perfume is perfect for the Spring/summer months- even if you are wearing it in Britain in these months, it still produces a summery floral fragrance, producing a scent like summer has arrived. The bottle lasts a very long time and only now after 3 months of buying one, I shortly will need another one. I have also found that buying online is a cheaper option than buying from a high street perfume store. The packaging it still the same and is not damaged when received.

The 50ml size that I received is also a perfect size to fit in your bag if you are going away for a few days or if you are going on holiday it will take up no room in your suitcase at all. The weight of it is also light - so poses no problem carrying it about.

Overall - the perfect perfume I have some across in a long time- money well spent.

Fantastic everyday fragrance.

Nina Ricci: Nina Eau de Toilette is a must have for anyone who loves a fresh revitilising scent.

Created in 2006 by the Nina Ricci house it has remained a popular fragrance. Aimed at the modern woman and a slightly younger audience than some of Nina Ricci's other scents. Nina has a classic floral-fruity smell. From the first squirt of this perfume you get an energising smell of fresh citrus lemons and limes, after a few moments of this initial burst it settles slightly to a juicy and sweet smell of toffee apples, praline and vanilla mixed sweetly with the floral scent of peonies, finally you feel the warmth and sensuality of apple tree and white cedar, slightly musky but an amazingly wonderful combination, although I believe that the muskiness tones down the sweetness and stops this scent becoming sickly. The original sweet burst soon softens into a sexy and seductive scent that lingers on the skin perfectly.

I love this scent as it is very delicate and most definitely not over powering which I find a lot of fragrances can be, yet strong enough to have staying power throughout the day. The advert and the bottle design work well for this product, both suggest a light, fun fragrance that is sweet and innocent, with the scent of apples being a key note in Nina.

A perfume I have used for several years now and it remains in amongst my absolute favourite fragrances. I would definitely recommend this as a Spring and Summer fragrance as its light and fresh.

Great scent, fruity and lasts all day. Highly recommended

I was given this as a Christmas present and it isn't actually the perfume I normally use. I usually wear Nina Ricci, Ricci Ricci. I thought I would give this a go because it had been bought for me and I love it. I prefer it to the one i normally wear.

It has a fruity scent to it that is not too overpowering and the scent lasts on your skin all day so you don't have to worry about topping up during the day.

The bottle is pink with a lovely silver design on the top. It is in the shape of an apple with silver leaves on it. The spray on the bottle is covered by a silver round lid that forms the final detail to the apple shape. The design of the bottle seems to go perfectly with the scent and so does the colour of the bottle. You could imagine wearing the perfume while wearing pink clothes along with others.

The perfume come in different sizes of 30ML and 50ML. You can also get some gift sets at certain times of year that include shower gel or body lotion that also have the same lovely scent.

I really recommend this product to women who love to smell nice. I will continue to purchase this perfume for a long time and I hope that others will take the opportunity to try it too.

A magical intoxicating fragrance

Nina Ricci 50 ml spray

Ricci promises a modern fairytale for women. Nina appears to be based on the fairytale of old Snow White, an enchanting, tempting fragrance that is feminine and sweet. In the advert for the product a young woman clambers over a pile of apples to pluck a bottle of Ricci's perfume from a tree, possibly a nod to the tempting poisoned apple in Snow White. Ricci's Nina is anything but poison though with appealing bottle design and attractive scent. Shaped like a rosy apple, the bottle is elegant and pretty and can sit happily out on display without being an eyesore rather than being tucked away in a draw somewhere. The problem with the spray bottle is that there is little control over how much comes out of the bottle so I sometimes end up with more on than I wanted. I would have preferred a stopper design bottle which is easier to judge how much is coming out. At first when sprayed the product can be overpowering, however, this soon settles into a pleasant aroma so I wouldn't recommend spraying it willy nilly.

Overall the product has quite a fruity and sweet smell that perhaps isn't everyones cup of tea if you want something a little more subtle but I like something that I can smell all day. The 50ml spray can be picked up for around £30 pounds which is no more than you would expect to pay for a bottle of perfume on the high street. In fact, it's quite good value as some bottles can sell for quite a lot more. A striking perfume that will certainly catch attention. The product lingers on throughout the day without being too overpowering. Doubles up as both an everyday perfume and one for special occasions. Very versatile and reasonably priced. Also available in larger bottle sizes and gift packs for present ideas.

Good value for money and a great summer scent.

This perfume has a very unique, light, fruity smell that is great for wearing in summer. As you would expect from the advertising and bottle shape the scent is based around an apple fragrance with others mixed in making it sweeter. If you are like me and often don't buy perfumes if the bottle is ugly then this will not be a problem with Nina! The light pink colour and really cute apple shape means that this will be a really pretty addition to your perfume collection. I've found that the curve of the bottle means it fits very easily in my hand, making spraying it very easy and not at all fiddly as some scents can be.I must say that whilst I love this scent I don't find it lasts as long as other perfumes and after a couple of hours it did wear off and need re-applying, so that is worth bearing in mind. However as it isn't as expensive as other perfumes in the market then it isn't such a problem having to use more of it.Overall a lovely scent that is perfect during the summer for going to barbecues, picnics etc.

A gorgeous sweet scent, in a stand out bottle

A friend once commented on the gorgeous perfume that I was wearing, and without hesitation I referred her to this product. Having been taken in by the advert, upon which a girl climbs to the top of an apple pile and takes the perfect red one at the top of the pile, I was taken by the appearance of the bottle alone, being so unique from other fragrances on the market. Upon testing the perfume in store you are immediately taken with the light and sweet fragrance that lies within the attractive exterior.

The Scent...

This perfume is perfect as a candied and girly scent which is perfect for all those summer months. Whilst not overpowering, the smell manages to stand its own in a room full of differing fragrances, although it may be worth noting that the scent has significantly faded by the end of a night and does need the odd top up.

The Packaging...

The bottle comes in a white box which although rather plain in appearance is hardy packaging particularly useful when taking the perfume on trips away. Perhaps the greatest feature of this product is the bottle itself which, being shaped as a juicy red apple, really stands out amongst any dressing table collection. The translucent glass bottle whilst being of a standard size has also got a good quality silver leaf detail and perfume squirt and cap which makes a sharp click when pushed down.

This is a really great fragrance, I only hope that they would do more designs as then I could have an entire fruit selection on my dressing table, making them good enough to eat!!!

A Yummy Apple!

Ive been slowly but surely working my way through reviewing my perfume collection ever since I started Dooyoo - almost a year & a half ago!! - and I only have about 4 left to write about so I thought Id try and get them done over the next few days as I have no plans to add more to my extensive collection just yet! This 'Nina: Nina Ricci' was a perfume I only discovered quite recently when I collected enough points on a website to claim a free bottle so I thought Id try it out as lets face it - theres nothing better than a full-sized freebie right? And that way if it wasnt amazing I wouldnt be too annoyed as Id spent no money on it. Im happy to say this one is GORGEOUS and my Dooyoo points are currently saving towards buying another bottle of this so you must be able to tell how much I adore it.

Useful Information:Price: 30ml bottle - Around £20Stockists: Amazon, Boots, Bodycare, The Perfume Shop etc ...Other Info: Also available in 50 & 100ml bottle sizes for different prices. Described as a magical and enchanting scent for women everywhere. Also described as a lemon fragrance - thats a terrible way to sell perfume in my opinion, an oven cleaner is lemon scented - thats not how you describe perfume!!

- - - - - - - - -

The Bottle:

Is simply stunning in my opinion and certainly one of the main reasons I wanted to try this out in the first place - it makes a lovely addition to my collection and manages to stand out from the crowd, which when you own as many as I do is quite an achievment. The bottle is in the shape of a juicy, red apple - like something you'd see in Snow White and is instantly recognisable against others from the same brand or any brand for that matter. The bottle is totally see-through but has a lovely red/pink tinge to it which adds to the girly feel - but you can still see exactly how much you have left in the bottle which is always a plus for me. At the top of the 'apple' is a small silver lid which is surrounded by the apples leaves - the top simply pulls off to reveal the push down nozzle as you would expect from a perfume bottle. The bottom of the bottle is totally flat which makes disaplying it very easy and even though the glass is a little heavy its not to weighty to make carrying it around harder - it just means it wont break or leak in your bag which no-one wants! A lovely, stunning and effective bottle design. One of the nicest I own and its a little bit different to the norm.

- - - - - - - - -

The Scent:

Im pretty rubbish when it comes to noticing the individual notes in a perfume so I did do some digging around the net to find this list of ingredients:

Now that will make most people assume that this will be a mostly citus perfume as thats what the top notes suggest but it is much more than that. I cant smell the citrus that much at all even at first - and for someone that hates citrus scents I would certainly notice if the Lemon & Lime were anything more than subtle. Dont get me wrong they are noticable when your first spray but the notes are more tangy and sweet rather than citrussy and overpowering - which is how I often find citrus scents to be and even though they are a little strong at first they do die down very quickly and just leave a gorgeous tangy scent behind throughout the whole wearing period.

The middle notes in my opinion are definitely the strongest even straight away and all of them - Toffee Apple, Moonflower & Peony are equally as strong but they dont overpower each other in the slightest. They create a lovely floral yet fruity combination that actually mixes really well together - I assumed the scents would be fighting over one another to gain 'top spot' but surprisingly they dont in the slightest. The toffee apple gives the scent its gorgeous sweet notes - without being sugary or sickly and then the base notes come into play. Nothing strange about them as they are fairly 'normal' Ive found but they do make this scent a little heavier and take the edge of the sweetness slightly which makes this suitable for wearing at night as well as in the daytime. From tangy to floral-fruity to slightly heavier - its a perfume that keeps on changing.

- - - - - - - - -

Other Comments:

Staying Power:Is about average I think which I have to say I wasnt expecting. This lasts around 5-6 hours on my skin which isnt too bad but I feel I do have to reapply this at least once throughout the day so the bottle might not last as long as others I own.

Age:Hmm. Thats actually a hard one as I cant think of an age group that would really like/hate this one. Id say maybe 20's and upwards would appreciate this more but teens might like the sweetness of this one - test it out before you buy it, thats my best recommendation.

Day or Night? Summer or Winter?:This is 100000% a summer perfume - its very light and sweet so its perfect for me to wear on a sunny day. I think this would be suitablr for wearing in both day and night time though as it is light enough for day yet heavy and sensual enough for night - quite a versatile scent really.

- - - - - - - - -

This comes highly recommended from me because it is a gorgeous perfume - another offering that gets the full 5*s from me. Recommended to women of all ages to wear all the time!!
